What is going everyone and welcome back to TT! This week I'm joined by the wonderful Fresh Fattaahi. In this episode, we chat about several things but most importantly, how car culture can really be used for incredible things such as charity and giving to those who need the most. And Fresh is at the forefront of putting the pieces together to make these great things happen for those who need it most.
It is an incredible conversation and I for one cannot thank Fresh enough for her insight, her passion and her kindness. You can find her on Instagram @fresh_perpectivess.
Please enjoy Fresh Fattaahi on TT.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the last episode live from the Velocity invitational at Sonoma Raceway.
In part 3, we chat with the head of strategy and rally driver Josie Rimmer of Dirtfish, Sotheby's Motorsport sales specialist Michael Zimmermann and videographer and friend to the pod Derek Jones.
It is truly a fantastic way to wrap up the weekend in Sonoma, which was full of excitement, passion and enthusiasm. I speak for every guest of the last 3 parts when I say this is one of the premiere automotive events in the world. It will return for its 6th edition in June 2025 once more at Sonoma and I highly recommend to everyone to attend.
Massive thank you to Josie, Michael and Derek as well as every guest from the first two parts for participating and special thanks again to Kahn Media for allowing me to be boots on the ground.

What is going everyone! Welcome back to Sonoma Raceway at the Velocity Invitational for part 2 of our special. In this episode, you will hear from car content creator Kali Moldavon, YouTuber extraordinaire Jack Ultramotive, vintage car expert Gian Paolo Scorzo of Carissimo and one of the best photographers Arizona has to offer, Cody Nogowski.
They all share their experiences of why to them, the Velocity Invitational is truly one of the top automotive events in the world. Which is not a stretch. It was Jack and Gian Paolo's first time here and Kali and Cody have been here a few times and it's awesome to hear what each of them love about it. This was recorded in the media center which was directly on the front straight at Sonoma which means some of the fly by's get really loud at times. Apologies about that but it also gives a unique feeling as to being boots on the ground.
Please make sure you give a follow to Kali @kalimoldavon, Jack @jackultramotive, Gian Paolo @gocarissimo and @iamscorzo and Cody @c.j.n.photography as well as the velocity invitational IG account @velocityinvitational. Huge thanks to Cory Burns, Lauren Trevino and Diana Brennan of Kahn Media for everything over the weekend.

Hi everyone and welcome to the 100th installment of Tormenting Tarmac. I cannot believe we are here. This journey started all the way back in January 2022 and if you want to get really technical, it started in September of 2021 when I recorded the first ever episode with Ron. Fast forward to now and I think this podcast is the perfect representation of car culture in the Phoenix area and we have expanded outside of Arizona.
This week, we have YouTube sensation Jack Ultramotive on the pod. We discuss Youtube and how it works in the sense of the never ending story, his first car being the Focus RS, where we feel the perfect balanced supercars ended and of course....the greatness that is the Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640.
It was a true privilege to have Jack on, I am glad to have been able to welcome him into the Valley. And if anyone is curious, yes we certainly went for a rip in the Murci!
Please subscribe to Jack's channel on YouTube and give him a follow on IG. A big thank you to him and a bigger thank to all of you for supporting this project. The pleasure has been mine. Enthusiasts never die! -

This week we discuss how fast cars have gotten in the past 20 years, Michael Bay ruining the 303 freeway after it barely opened, and as the title suggests, AJ bought a Cayenne Turbo for a Safari build......and it's a TechArt. Hilarious! Always a treat to talk with AJ. Please follow him on IG @ajshipit.photo. Also side note, thank you for 99 episodes. We'll see you next week for number 100.

This week on TT, I welcome Andy "Dray" Manaras. Many of you will probably recognize his IG page Drive with Dray. And boy oh boy is he awesome.
On this episode, we discuss our love for mid 2000's supercars, why we both feel Mercedes fumbled it with the 4 cylinder C63, why he absolutely adores his BMW M Coupe, how he made a G87 M2 look fantastic but it still doesn't give him the fiz and which car he is on the hunt for next. Plus his honest opinions about his favorite brand, Aston Martin.
